To alt whom it may cof/vc 1,* l

Be it lrnovvn that lfllonnnr S.` CADE, e citizen of the United States, residing at Gantonrin the county of Sterk and State 'of Oliio, have invented a nl W and usefull Shoe- 4v`the layers orflits of `the heels which have .j become Wornean be removed; second, to so removethe Worn, layers thatkno injnry will be caused to the remaining layers or lifts of ther heels and` to which remaining layers or lifts. the nevv layers or lifts are to be attached; and third, to provide means for eutting the expoeedportions of the nails after the worn layers or'vliits have been removed. These objects, together with Vother hligeots,

readily apparent 'to'tliose skilled in the'art,

l attain hy construction illustrated in the acconipenying drawings, although my' invention. may he embodied in a variety or other mechanical forms the `constrnotion illustreted heine; chosen lo*T vva of exam le.

the. floconL anying drawing Figure 1 is n perspective view. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the top or upper portion of the machine `and illustrating the positions of the shoes when pla-ced upon the machine to' be acted n'pon.- Fig. 3 ,is a vertical section. l is u' tronsversefseetion on line lf-l, Fig: 1'- I Y '.l roughout the several views similar reference numerals indicate similar parts.

More ep'ecilicallyI describing the construction of my improved shoe repairing machine the numeral 'l indicates a base or support, which i'nay of such a size that the machine een he .moved from piece' to placeor in other y words lio-provide a portable' machinen This inain pr lsup y rtor onse sli Ould be of such a si ze that the nmcaine proper Willbe held in an upright position when 1n nse. However if desired the machine can be attached to. the door of a vroon'il in practically the seme manner that it Well known manner tlie'two parallel angle bars` 3, which angle bers are formed of a. length to constitute a machine of sulicient height to be conveniently operated. For the purpose of providing what might be termed a rest or anvil portion, the upper parts of the angle-.bars 3 are bent at vright angles to the upper portions, the Webs oi` the angle bars having been previously notched so that 'when the rest or anvil portions 4 are brought at practically right angles a miter joint is produced as to the Webs or' the angle bars. For the purpose of holding the rest or anvil portions in a rigid condition with reference to each other, the angle plate 5 ie provided and is connected to the ends'of the right an Ygled ortions 4. Between 'the angle bare or uprig ts 3 'is located 4the reciprocating or sliding bar (i, which extends downward to a point about midway between the top and bottom ende of the angle bars 3. Jllie bottoni or ,lower end of the bar li is provided vvith the right angled portion or bar 7, which is extended beyond the edgee of the webs of the angle bars 8, to which arm are attached the linke 8; the hot-toni or lower ends of which are pivotally etteched the operating foot-lever 9, which 4lever entends rearward and between the angle 3, and is pivotally connected to the bracket 3 0, which bracket may be of the form shovvn or it may be of any other desired form as the only object desired is to pivotoll conneet the lever 9, so that the Same con Ae operated by 'the foot. The top or upper end vof 'the bnr 6 is provided with the neclr or 'curved portion 11, which neclr or curved portion 1e for the purpose or providing sultable Ymeans for properly arranging the heel layer or lift removing blade l2.

To the neck portion l1 and to the loer t3 are attachedtli'e L-ehe-ped plates 13, to which Lehaped plates 13 is attached the blade l2 hy means of enit-able bolts or rivets 1l. For the purpose of properly guiding the bar 6 at its top or upper end and caneing the same to move up and down in true eline ment, the plete l5 and the block or bar le are provided, the 'pleite 'l5 is attached to the angled hars 3 andthe block 'lli is attached to the wehe 17, said webs being directly nnw der the rest or anvil portion@ Ll. order that the rest or anvil e moy 'ne properly braced so there een be no sagging or Spring lOl? wie.. blade Kim? incase? said bla es being fixed and the other one being movable with the reciprocating bar.

3. 'In a device of the character described, the combination of a base, a support secured to said base, a heel rest located at the top of said support, a reciprocating bar, said reciproca-ting bar being arranged to be uided by the heel rest support, means for actuating said reciprocating bar, and a heel lift.

removing blade Xed to and carried by the reciprocating bar, one edge of said blade being formed substantially straight and the other edge being beveled.

et. In a device of the character described, the combination of a base provided with a bracket, a support connected to said base,

-said support consisting of angle bars spaced from each others an anvil located. at the top or upper ends of said spaced angled bars, a reciprocating bar located between said spaced angle bars, a' lever pivotally connected at one end to said bracket secured to the base,-

links connected to said leverinterniediate its ends and to the reciprocatingbarrespectively, a heel lift removing blade located at the top or upper end of the reciprocating j bar, and nail cutting blades, one being connected to said reciprocating bar and 'the other being connected. to the top or upper end of the support,

In testimony thaty l claim. the above, l1 have hereunto subscribed my name in the piesence of two Witnesses.
